A petition has appeared online asking Governor Schwarzenegger to pardon Paris Hilton for her �mistake.�
The petition was started by a Paris fan known only as Joshua, whose friend is using the socialite�s Myspace page to encourage �all fans and supporters and all that are outraged by injustice� to sign it.
Addressed to �The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,� the petition describes Paris as �an American celebrity and socialite� who �provides hope for young people all over the US and the world.�
It then goes on to insist that, although drink driving is wrong, Paris�s crime is not serious enough to warrant jail time:
�We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong. We do not support drunk driving or DUI charges. Paris should have been sober. But she shouldn't go to jail, either.�
Paris is set to begin a 45 day jail sentence on June 5.
